International Enterprise Challenge

The information on this page is a record of Mosaic’s past international activities.

Mosaic operated internationally between 2009 – 2016 with a focus on Muslim-majority countries. Since moving to the Prince’s Trust in 2016, the international programmes are now being delivered by Prince’s Trust International.

Strong partnerships were established in Jordan and Qatar and there is significant interest from potential delivery partners in countries with high youth unemployment and where such youth development programmes do not exist.

Qatar

In Qatar, Mosaic worked in partnership with Qatar Shell and Bedaya to deliver Enterprise Challenge Qatar (ECQ). ECQ was established in 2012 and is a flagship programme for Qatar Shell’s corporate social responsibility agenda.

Over the course of the 2014 – 2015 academic year, the programme reached 750 students, up from 430 students in 2013 – 14, across fourteen schools and nine universities, culminating in a Grand Finals events held during Global Entrepreneurship Week 2014.

Jordan

In Jordan, Mosaic worked in partnership with INJAZ to deliver Enterprise Business Challenge (EBC). EBC was established in 2012 and is now INJAZ’s most renowned programme for school children.

Throughout the 2014-2015 academic year INJAZ engaged 37 schools and more than 1390 students nationwide with this dynamic and high impact program.

Pakistan

Building on the success of the Mosaic Enterprise Challenge in Jordan and Qatar, Mosaic partnered with SEED Ventures, a social enterprise supporting enterprise start-ups, to deliver our award-winning programme in schools across Pakistan.

Importantly, Seed Ventures are determined that the Challenge should support the full diversity of Pakistan’s communities and has secured interest from schools not just in Karachi, but also Islamabad, Lahore, Quetta, Kashmir, Gilgit Baltistan and Peshawar.

Seed Ventures has also secured an impressive degree of support from businesses prepared to promote the volunteer mentoring opportunities the Challenge offers.
